The Mirror caught up with actress Adjoa Andoh on all things Bridgerton, including the ’emotional’ storylines season four has in store for her iconic character, Lady Danbury
Dearest gentle Mirror readers, the new season of Bridgerton is fast approaching, and we, for one, cannot wait to see what awaits the ladies and gentlemen of the ton.
And so, when this Mirror reporter crossed paths with Adjoa Andoh – aka the Lady Danbury – at this year’s Pride of Britain Awards, she had enough questions to fill an entire edition of Lady Whistledown.
Conscious that Andoh, 62, was on her way to be seated at a sparkling reception, however, we got straight to the point, intrigued as to what loyal viewers can expect from Benedict Bridgerton’s long-awaited love story, the first part of which drops on January 29.
As elegant as her onscreen counterpart, the star couldn’t have been more gracious as she divulged a little bit of insider gossip, including what her favourite season is so far. A question, of course, that never fails to spark debate amongst passionate fans.

With a knowing twinkle in her eye, Andoh teased: “It’s gonna be a little bit different this season. I can’t tell you how it’s gonna be different, though. It’s gonna be different in a great way. And interesting, and some of us have got interesting things happening as well. I think it’s gonna be a worthwhile watch.”
When asked whether the upcoming season holds any particularly exciting or romantic moments for fan favourite Lady Dabury, Andoh considered: “You’ll see some emotional stuff, yes.”
And it looks as though viewers are in for a real treat. When asked what her favourite season is so far, Andoh immediately declared, with great surety: “The season I’m doing!”
Of course, to know all that awaits us in the new year would take away the fun and the guessing, which keeps swooning viewers hooked season after season. But what we do know is that this story will follow artistic-minded second brother Benedict (Luke Thompson), as he falls for a “mysterious Lady in Silver” at Lady Bridgerton’s masquerade ball.
Little does he know that the young lady who has so captured his heart isn’t the society debutante he’s used to, but an “intriguing maid” named Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). There is more than a little hint of Cinderella about this latest love story, which is sure to enchant romantic spirits far and wide.
Since Christmas 2020, the Shondaland adaptation of Julia Quinn’s spicy Bridgerton book series has brought a much-needed dose of escapism, with viewers falling for the ‘will they, won’t they’ plots, grand Regency-era setting, and contemporary pop music classical scores. So what is it like to work on such a widely beloved show?
On this front, Andoh is filled with enthusiasm as she offers a little glimpse of life on one of the world’s most famous sets. The actress, who has starred in five series so far, including the Queen Charlotte spin-off, reflected: “I really love how beautiful it is. I love how beautiful the costumes are and how beautiful the sets are, and how hard a ton of people that you will never even know their names have worked to make it look as fabulous as it is.
“I love the fact that there’s a whole variety of people doing it. I love how silly we are, how much fun we have on set. It’s a great show to be a part of. And what I really love is is when you’re out and about, you know, when we’re doing publicity for the show, that I can be in Ghana, or I can be in Greenwich, or I can be in Cambodia, or I can be in South Africa or Southern Spain, and everywhere you go, people know the show, which is kind of amazing. And there’s a lot of love for it.
“I love the fact, as well, that you know, everybody’s welcome to watch the show. Everybody’s invited, and I love the fact that when we have Bridgeton events, you feel that the space that we’re in is a safe space for everybody. And that’s a kind of nice energy to put in the world, I think.”
Bridgerton season four will be released in two parts. The first will air on January 29, 2026, with the second arriving on February 26, 2026.
